A bedside/any-side table on transparent castors - Made of aluminum profiles, it is light, slim, alien. We achieve its amorphous shape by treating the profiles in a way that is not appropriate for the material. We bend them like paper, dent them, let them swell out of their strict form, lending the non-ferrous metal lightness. The trollers are available with 3, 4 and 5 legs, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 75 cm high. We add a signature to each troller in the form of a tag [underside] and a unique material treatment. Here it is the dent [functionally usable for jewelry, soap, money, or here for airpods]. The last troller got a waterproof vase in the middle of the table [profile closed and rotated 90°].

Studio for Contemporary Welding
Furniture and Interior Design

 

Hannes Herbst + Robert Freitag

We are designers trained in interior architecture, combining academic research with professional practice. Our studio brings together the perspectives of a graduated interior architect and an interior architecture student from the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.

As studio herbst.freitag, based at Pittlerwerke Leipzig, we work on objects and spatial concepts informed by material-driven design and industrial production methods. Our practice focuses on the deliberate articulation of construction and materiality, treating functional elements as integral components of spatial and formal expression.

Our functional objects and interventions are intended to respond to spaces, to have the ability to structure and invite.
